Chapter 38—The Restless Gods (I)

On the plains outside the city of Lai Ming, this place has been reduced to a terrifying killing field with only human screams and the trembling sounds of demons tearing through humanity.

Because the strongest master Zhang Yue was killed, the royal expeditionary force, which was already unstable, was collectively defeated in an instant, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, just hoping that they could get lucky and break out of the encirclement and save their lives.

However, many demons have no regard for the feelings of the human soldiers, and no one can stop their innate desire to kill.

Gareth slowly walked through the blood-stained meadows, patrolling for the abominable "scum" worth his shot.

Seeing the collective rout of the human army, this valuable demon lord disdained it, such scum must be destroyed, and the demon will eventually become the only master of this land.

The various colorful magic was very glaring, and Gareth squinted slightly, knowing that there were some dying magicians trying to break through the encirclement.

The general direction should be to the west...... Gareth walked towards the side where the light was most intense.

An old magician who was trying his best to deal with the five skeleton cavalrymen in front of him was already scarred, and he was already overwhelmed by the purification magic that required a great deal of mana.

"Already...... Isn't there anything else that can be done......" The old magician slumped to the ground, watching as several skeletons wielding long knives approached around him.

The old magician lowered his head, as if to think about how he had spent his not so short life, and soon, he raised his head again, his cloudy eyes full of determination.

He raised the staff in his hand, concentrating on using all of his remaining mana to gather onto the staff.

"In the name of the Lord of the True Universe, I, Blet, will end the demons around me at the cost of my life!" The old and somewhat trembling voice contained helplessness and sadness.

The light on the staff shone brighter, and the old magician slowly closed his eyes, as an Imperial soldier, he did everything he had to do.

Just as the energy gathering was about to explode, a red shadow flashed, instantly knocking out the staff in the old magician's hand.

The old magician's eyes snapped open, and fear and anger erupted undisguisedly.

"Old man, just because you want to hurt my army in such a stupid way?!" Gareth grabbed the old magician by the neck with one hand and lifted him up.

"You...... Let go of me......" The old magician had no strength left to struggle, but his flushed face could not speak.

"In that case, you want to die so much...... Gareth tightened his hand, the red light in his eyes shining brighter, and at some point a red ghost of hell appeared around him.

"Then try the demon's execution, you'll be satisfied, hahaha......" Gareth laughed wildly, and the terrible ghost quickly invaded the old magician's body.

Gareth let go of the old magician, who was no longer alive or dead, and continued to search for the remaining humans who dared to resist.

I don't know how long the endless killing has been going on, and before that, Gareth has already planted a huge fire demon barrier around the royal expeditionary force, and no one can escape from here except for Zhang Yue, who is already dead.

Therefore, it will be difficult for the news of the destruction of the royal expeditionary force to reach the royal family in the capital, and Gareth's original intention is the same.

In the eastern part of the city of Lyming, the Draenx Legion had arrived and been engaged in battle for a long time.

Surprisingly, the number of demon armies here is unexpectedly small, and there are no sneak attacks or anything like that.

"Lord Earl, we have basically eliminated the demons around the walls of the Dongcheng District." A herald entered the tent and reported.

"yes, that's great!" Count Salo said happily, "When this battle is over, you can go back and ask your majesty for credit." ”

"Keep searching for survivors, and if we can bring back a few survivors, we will undoubtedly add to our merits." Salo commanded.

The herald stepped back, and Salo sat down slowly.

Looking at the sword on the table that had accompanied him for thirty years, Salo felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

I never imagined that I would have a chance to revive the family, and maybe after the triumph, the Drenx family would regain its former glory.

Ten minutes later, Salo decided to go outside to see what was going on, and by the way, to comfort his own soldiers who had been fighting with him for many years.

However, the herald had rushed into the tent again, apparently with something important to report.

"Report to the Count!" The herald said, "A young man who claims to be the Leinmoth family wants to see you!" ”

"The Leenmoth family?" Salo was surprised, but he quickly figured out who the young man should be.

"Let him in." Salo regained his composure and said.

Soon, a young man in ragged clothes slowly walked into the tent with the help of the herald.

"Hall? How did you get to this point? Salo asked, slightly surprised, his tone full of concern.

The relationship between the Leenmos family and the Drenx family is not close, but there is no contradiction, and Salo must do so in order to win hearts and minds.

"Master Salo ......" As soon as Hall saw Salo, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and tears flashed in his eyes, and he was about to suffer on the spot.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Salo hurriedly asked the others to retreat, and then let Hall sit opposite him.

"Sir...... I almost died at the hands of that damn fire demon......" Hale hugged Salo and cried, apparently hurting a lot.

"You've been treated by a paramedic, right?" Salo asked, and Hale nodded, his fear finally relieved.

After Hall's explanation, Salo learns that when he was teleported here, the injuries he had suffered had not healed.

Later, because he didn't find other classmates, he accidentally encountered a detachment of the demon army, and was chased by skeleton cavalry and hell ghosts, and fled to a small building.

Hale, who thought he had escaped, was even more desperate to find that the six fire demons downstairs had surrounded him and tried to burn him to death with powerful hellfire.

Frightened, Hall desperately escaped, only to learn from the soldiers that Sallo's legion was here, so he came to take refuge.

"Good...... Good...... In short, everything is over, and it is better than anything to survive. Salo reassured.

......

In a wooden house in the forest in the western district of Laiming Dynasty, Bai Xuanyi and others were gathering in the house, looking at the surroundings vigilantly.

"It's been a couple of hours." Xu Mingjian said, "The demons haven't discovered our whereabouts yet. ”

"That's not necessarily ......," said the aristocratic boy wiping his arrows with a rag.

"Demons' ability to perceive living things is terrifying, and as the number of living people decreases, we will be discovered sooner or later."

"Don't be afraid, those demons are not to be afraid." The aristocratic boy who wielded the giant axe clenched his fists, "Now I feel like I'm on the verge of a breakthrough." ”

Bai Xuanyi didn't participate in the boys' discussions, she was casually strolling around the cabin.

"The original owner of this place must have been killed...... Bai Xuanyi muttered to himself, "When will we be able to end this damn test?" ”

"I can help you get out if you want." A female voice from behind her made Bai Xuanyi stiffen.

Looking back, the woman from before was standing under the broken window, staring at herself intently.

"I'm ......" Bai Xuanyi hesitated, if he could really escape from here, of course it would be the best, but ......

"Why are you helping me?" Bai Xuanyi took a few steps forward and found that there was no man following her around the woman.

"Maybe it's because I have a good impression of you as soon as we meet......" The woman clasped her hands to her chest, and her tone was slightly teasing.

"Or, we're already acquainted?" Bai Xuanyi stopped and said in the same tone, "But I don't necessarily have a 'good feeling' for you. ”

The woman pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "Cut!" Did you see it? ”

"Huang Yao, with your strength, you should be able to bring this to an end soon." Bai Xuanyi's face became extremely serious, with deep reproach, "Why are you ......?"

"I said it in front of you and Lan Xiaoyu before." Huang Yao said quite arrogantly, "It has nothing to do with me about human beings, if the demons really exterminate you all, it will be providential." ”

The corners of Bai Xuanyi's mouth twitched, and Huang Yao's response could be described as unexpected and reasonable.

"So what are you still doing here?" Bai Xuanyi asked with some annoyance, "If you're just watching a play, get out of here!" ”

Huang Yao was not surprised by Bai Xuanyi's rudeness, she turned around and said leisurely as she walked: "I have no right to interfere with your thousand-act test......

Not to mention that I have more important things to do. Huang Yao said silently in his heart.

Five minutes later, Bai Xuanyi walked out of the cabin and told the others that she wanted to see if any demons had approached the place.

Of course, her real purpose was not this, there were some things she had to figure out.

The white ball of light in his hand flickered intermittently, as if it was guiding something.

Bai Xuanyi walked around, and soon came to a small hill.

It was clearly the man from Arenas who was kneeling on it, a look of pain on his face.

Bai Xuanyi hid in the grass beside him, watching his movements motionlessly.

Intense purple light erupted on Arenas's body, and the purple energy that poured out quickly spread out in all directions.

Why hasn't Huang Yao come yet...... Bai Xuanyi applied a protective barrier to herself to stop the onslaught of purple energy.
